Teaching social concepts can be tough—because the social world is really complex! In this interactive course, you’ll learn a practical six-step decision-making framework to create teaching plans that support social growth in all kinds of learners. We’ll use the Social Thinking® Methodology and other approaches to explore how to teach learners how the social world works—so they can better understand it and set their own social goals. You’ll also learn how to tailor strategies based on age, perspective, anxiety, executive functioning, and more. Expect hands-on activities, real-life examples, and lots of chances to apply what you learn to the people you support—at home, school, or work.
Social Thinking offers a wide array of all day and partial day courses and embedded school trainings to fit your needs. Our speakers collectively instruct over 15 courses offering practical concepts and strategies to boost the social learning process and academic achievement that can be used across settings, such as in the classroom, on the playground, at home, at work, and in the community. Each course covers a specific topic, from working with early learners, to the transition to adulthood; to helping mature adults improve executive functioning skills. Each speaker has unique specialties that align with the courses they instruct.
